The present thesis explores the wide definition of homelessness and its complexity as a social phenomena. It is a very complex and multidirectional problem linked to individual, interpersonal, and socioeconomic factors. In order to prevent and minimize it and solve the problem in a sustainable, long run, the network of causes and triggering factors have to be found and understood. Often, the exist

This thesis aims to explore whether an artistic creative type model can be applicable in an entrepreneurial setting. Meta Wagner’s model was selected as the artistic creative type model in this study. Conducting qualitative research through a case study approach on startup founders, who share a common background in entrepreneurial education, allows us to deepen our understanding of the founder

Voice impersonation is a technique that has often been used by criminals whose goal is to avoid being identified while committing a crime. There are, however, other interesting cases where the police confronts a suspect with an incriminating recording, and the suspect would deny being the true speaker in that recording, and claim that it belonged to an expert impersonator. In both of these cases,

The rapid advancements in technology have brought benefits to many sectors, including the health sector. Popular technologies related to e-health and m-health have transformed traditional healthcare and are getting more popular among physicians and patients. Since these technologies, like any other, are constantly changing and improving, some groups of people who are not digitally literate enough

This thesis has as a purpose the investigation of sustainable requirements compliance with regards to competition in public procurement contracts. This paper looks into Directive 2014/24 and notably its primary law influence in order to understand the legal foundations underlying sustainability and competition. It showcases, firstly, that Article 18(1) wording and legal interpretation provides a l

For a company to stay relevant in the long term, it is essential to keep up with the latest technology and continuously consider new innovative solutions for improving products and services. The gasketed plate heat exchanger (GPHE) is a mechanical device, and this work attempts to investigate different possibilities for incorporating sensor devices and predictive maintenance systems to improve the

Forskningsfrågor Hur resonerar svenska fastighetsbolag vid valet mellan intern och extern värdering av förvaltningsfastigheter? Hur resonerar fastighetsbolagen kring redovisningens kvalitativa egenskaper, relevans och tillförlitlighet? Syfte Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka varför svenska fastighetsföretag väljer att anlita externa värderare. Studien syftar även till att undersöka hur fastighets

The purpose of the thesis is to explore the relationships between plant-based food brands and their consumers specifically in Sweden. To do this, the study aims to characterize the brand relationships that consumers form with plant-based food brands and understand their perceived green benefits and underlying value when choosing these brands.

The purpose of this project is studying heat transfer to indexable cutting tools during milling of a selection of titanium alloys, relevant to the industry. To achieve this goal, both experimental and theoretical models were contemplated to formulate the current thesis. The experimental set-up was designed and executed at Seco Tools AB, supporting the project as industrial collaborator. The therm

Purpose – The purpose of this project is to study the performance of uncoated versus coated cemented carbide tools when performing milling operations in heat treated titanium alloys, with the goal of establishing a base line of knowledge and methodology linked to these difficult-to-machine materials relevant for the metal cutting industry. Design/methodology/approach – The work that is carried out

Bombyx mori silk fibroin has been widely used in various biomedical products, in which the silk fibroin is regenerated into liquid and freeze-dried to result in a porous scaffold. The tunability of the silk fibroin scaffold's mechanical strength and permeability is essential for different functions and applications. We explore different controlling factors in the fabrication process to underst

Utförande av denna Masteruppsats är en del av projektet Ecodiver och i samarbete med vattenavdelningen på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Syftet med studien är att granska den öppna källkods mjukvaran QSWAT+ som är ett plugin-program i QGIS. Detta för att i kommande tid kunna utveckla ett evidensbaserat verktyg för optimering av våtmarker. Undersökningsområdets omfattning är begränsad till Kävlingeåns avThis Master´s thesis is a part of the Ecodiver project, conducted by the Water department at LTH. The purpose of this study is to review the open-source software QSWAT+ as a plugin in QGIS, to be able to develop an evidence-based tool for optimization of wetlands. The scope of the study area is limited to the catchment area of Kävlinge river; however, no account is taken of the validation of data,

The political and socioeconomic consequences of US-led sanctions on Iran have been extensively researched. Despite Iran's importance in natural resources such as oil, research on the domestic economic consequences of sanctions, particularly on Iranian industries, is largely disregarded. When the domestic perspective of the sanctioned country is factored out, socially recurring effects like sel

The fashion industry with its complex supply chains deals with increasingly problematic environmental issues. IS and specifically analytics technologies are said to provide fashion companies with crucial insights to improve their environmental impact. However, these promises of this so-called analytics-enabled Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) are not fully materializing in the European fashion

Ultrashort laser pulses with time-dependent polarisation states have many applications, such as the generation of isolated attosecond pulses and the study of the optical chirality of molecules. In this project the polarisation gate, built from two quarter-wave plates of different orders, is thoroughly characterised in experiment and simulation. The time-dependent polarisation state is investigated

Suppose that an infinite population is partitioned into different species. Given a random sample from the population of species, we are interested in estimating the species richness, which is the number of different species inhabiting a given area. The species richness is a symmetric functional of the probability mass function. A suitable model for estimating the probability mass function is via

In this work we aim to implement a software package to detect and categorize dark data, data not accessible or not known by the user, generated in the simulations of the Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX). This will involve studying current existing solutions for such problems, attempting to implement them for the Lightweight Distributed Computing System (LDCS), and developing our own Dark Data S
